Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of efficient conversion of oily waste residues, and relates to a method for extracting slurry-bed hydrocracking discarded oil residues. Background Art

[0002] With the shrinking supply of light crude oil, the conversion and refining of inferior feedstocks, such as heavy crude oil and vacuum residue (VR), has attracted widespread attention, and research on related catalysts has become a hot topic. Compared to light crude oil, inferior feedstocks have lower API gravity (≤21°) and are inexpensive, offering promising prospects for refining and conversion. However, their high levels of sulfur, nitrogen, and metallic impurities, along with a significant proportion of high-boiling-point heavy hydrocarbons, present challenges in upgrading and converting these inferior feedstocks (viscosity reduction, boiling point reduction, desulfurization, demetallization, and increasing the H / C ratio). For example, VR contains 10% to 30% polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heteroatom asphaltenes, with a boiling point exceeding 813K, making it highly susceptible to coking during processing.

[0003] Hydrocracking (HCK) is an important method for converting low-quality feedstocks into low-boiling-point distillates. Slurry-bed hydrocracking utilizes a homogeneous catalyst that mixes well with the feedstock, resulting in strong coke suppression and a conversion rate exceeding 95%. This technology offers significant advantages in adaptability and selectivity for low-quality feedstocks. Despite this, slurry-bed hydrocracking remains unable to fully utilize low-quality feedstocks. This is primarily due to the need to remove some of the coked residue to prevent the impact of coking on the hydrocracking process during the recycling process. This removed residue is characterized by low saturates, high colloidal asphaltene content, high residual carbon content, and metal enrichment. This amount typically accounts for over 3-10 wt% of the plant's processing capacity. For a 100-ton / year slurry-bed plant, for example, a conservative estimate suggests that over 30,000 tons of this residue is required annually. Currently, the main methods for disposing of this residue are gasification to produce hydrogen followed by incineration to recover a small amount of metals or as fuel for steelmaking. This generally has low economic value and results in significant carbon emissions. Therefore, the efficient and comprehensive utilization of the removed residue from the slurry bed has enormous economic potential.

[0004] A limited number of reports exist on the treatment and utilization of discarded oil residue. CN 113736509 A reports a method for treating residual oil from slurry-bed hydrogenation of residual oil. This method mixes the residual oil with solvent oil and a porous material to remove metals from the residual oil. The solvent oil is then separated and recycled, and the residual oil can be further processed as a coking or hydrogenation feedstock. CN 111394122 A discloses a process for treating hydrogenation tailings, its uses, and design methods. This method utilizes the differences in solubility of heavy distillate components in a solvent to extract the light components from the heavy components, separating them. The light components are then separated from the solvent through distillation. The mass ratio of the extractant used as the tailings solvent to the tailings is 15-25:1. Existing methods for treating hydrogenation tailings through solvent extraction suffer from problems such as high solvent usage, low extraction efficiency, and high metal ion content in the extracted liquid phase. Summary of the Invention
